There is also a wide range of titles in the collection on the
Chinese in Southeast Asia. For a good overview, Jonas Daniel
Vaughan’s The Manners and Customs of the Chinese of the Straits
Settlements (1879) gives an account of the social lives of the Chinese
in the Straits Settlements. George William Skinner, an American
anthropologist, wrote a Report on the Chinese in Southeast Asia,
December 1950 (1951) and more than a decade later, Charles Patrick
Fitzgerald, an Australian scholar, published The Third China: The
Chinese Communities in South-East Asia (1969). The Ya Yin Kwan
Collection also has other English and Chinese titles on Chinese
communities in other Southeast Asian countries.
In particular, the Ya Yin Kwan Collection has quite a number of
Japanese titles that were published in the 1930s and 1940s. These
focus mainly on the Chinese in Southeast Asia and Southeast Asian
studies. In one of the Chinese articles written by him, Tan Yeok
Seong gave a very comprehensive overview of early Japanese
studies on the Chinese in Southeast Asia. He also mentioned that
some of the Japanese titles in the Ya Yin Kwan collection could no
longer be easily found in Japan. 10
These titles are just a drop in the ocean of information waiting
to be rediscovered in the Ya Yin Kwan Collection. Members of the
public may view the Ya Yin Kwan Collection located on Level 10 of
the Lee Kong Chian Reference Library, National Library, during the
library’s opening hours. Those wishing to consult the collection
may approach the staff at the Information Counter on Level 11. The
collection is to be used within the library’s premises.
Researchers interested in this collection can also request for a
copy of the Catalogue of the Ya Yin Kwan Collection in the Lee Kong
Chian Reference Library from the Level 11 Information Counter.
